Pregnancy classes

During pregnancy exercise is a positive way forward and Pilates is an excellent solution for pregnant women who find it difficult to continue regular exercise with confidence. Sarah has been teaching Pilates one to one in a swimming pool recently with her very heavily pregnant client, Simone. Simone was too heavy to want Pilates in her final stages, but the water aided her movement and relieved her aching joints.

Sarah teaches private tuition to those pregnant students who wish to maintain strength, core stability and ease in pregnancy (as much as she can help)! This will include working on the ball and pelvic floor work.

Benefits of Pilates Exercises pre and post natal.

1. Abdominal strength is important to help support the weight of the growing uterus, support and act as a splinter to the spine, and aid childbirth;

2, Stronger, toned abdominal muscles are less lkely to severely separate, and separation will realign quicker in stronger abdominals;

3. Good posture and strong core strength helps to control the amount of pelvic tilt, which naturally occurs as the baby grows/

4.Aids relaxation, improves sleep and increases energy levels;

5. Helps increase circulation, to the mother and fetus, which in turn helps to prevent varicose veins and leg cramps;

6. Reduces back ache by improving posture and strengthening abdominals;

9. Increases body awareness, and awareness of the pelvic floor, enhancing hte mother’s ability to relax it and facilitate childbirth

10. Increases venous return

The breathing technique in Pilates helps prepare for labour. Pilates will stabilise joints.

The Pilates exercises are also suitable after labour. Some can be done from the first day after labour! THe movements are flowing and encourage functional strength.

Pilates Workshops

Sarah runs workshops wherever and whenever required. If you are in an office or having a work conference, maybe we can set up a specific Pilates workshop for you. The workshop can be up to 3 hours.

The workshop will include an explanation of Pilates:

Taking a look at our own posture

Breathing technique

Core Stability

Screening for all students prior to participation

The workshop will also include:

Simple and precise exercises performed without forcing or straining the body, helping to relieve stress and tension, and in many cases to reduce back and joint pain

Mind and body work leaving you feeling refreshed rather than exhausted

They are open to beginners and to more regular attendees of pilates classes who feel that they want to learn more and spend time developing the basic techniques, enabling them to benefit more from the advanced classes.
Exercises can be adapted so you can work within your physical capability and therefore reduce the risk of injury.
